 Swim
Comments: wow was the water cold... I went in feeling confident, but couldn't get in a rhythm without getting kicked, started getting a little panicky, my wetsuit felt too tight couldn't get anywhere, saw a swim angel looking a little concerned about me, so defiance kicked in, and I flipped over and swam on my back the whole darn way!!! What would you do differently?: hold back even more and give some distance between me and the ohters at the back. I also would do more open water practice  Transition 1
Comments: cmae out of the water a little week, but once I was out of the sand I started running, feeling confident again, I'd made it out of the water! My area was well set up, I had everything where I needed it and my wet suit 1/2 off before entering trans area, everthing went really well. What would you do differently?: nothing, I'm pleased with how this went  Bike
Comments: The bike portion was alot of fun. Lots of cheering each other on and sooomany smiles! I was passed by 3 people and got to say "on your left" lots, that was fun. Saw Susan when she was coming back. Kept a steady pace of 18 or 19 going out but more like 14 coming back with the wind. I was having so much fun though that I didin't care. What would you do differently?: Have a cool fast red road bike! Transition 2
Comments: Was very pleased with this time, what was cool was that Susan was already there and getting ready to run, but she waited so we could finish together, WOW! What would you do differently?: nothing, well maybe take off bike gloves:)  Run
Comments: S and I headed out, I wasn't focusing on speed at all, just a good rythm and steady breathing. I got in a groove pretty quickly and just went for it. I felt slow but strong, figured I was doing a 12 or 13 minute mile. I never felt like I needed to walk and was so impressed with Susan who was about 10 yards ahead of me for a good portion, she had a good pace and was relaxed which was so impressive, hope I looked that way. So the two of us in our crazy pink outfits, sprinted to the finish, strong happy and holding hands as we crossed. I was the greatest way to do my first tri. Can't wait for the next one! What would you do differently?: nothing Post race

Veteran 156 | Subject: RE: Danskin Women's Triathlon Woohoo, you go girl - you make it sound like a stroll through the park. So, glad your Dad came to see you - that must have been the icing on the cake for you!!. It was great to get to meet you - I have promised myself that I'm never again riding to a race with someone else. So next time we will have some more time to chat. On the plus side of being so late - I didn't see a mosquito until the long haul back to the car after the race. Everyone else was breakfast - I guess we got to be lunch:-) |

Was up at 4:15, put on my trisuit and ate granola and a banana while hubby showered. Checked out of the hotel while he helped other hubby load truck. Got the boys up and dressed and we were off by 4:45. Got to Sandy Hook with no problem but became a substantial breakfast to the Texas sized mosquitoes while we unloaded the bikes. Got checked in and set up transition area and went in search of Brenda but she wasn't there yet.
Warming up consisted of trying to find Gia, trying to find family, checking back to see if Brenda had a arrived, going potty, and then....my dad showed up...from New Mexico. To those of you who saw the girl in the wet suit screaming and crying, that's why, I couldn't believe he was there!
